BRITISH BRANDO?
Looking for all the world like a British Brando, the late, near great wild man Richard Harris gives a superb performance as a Yorkshire coal miner with aspirations of becoming a professional rugby player. The underappreciated Rachel Roberts is the widow with whom he has a tempestous relationship. I don't know much about the genesis of Martin Scorsese's 1980 RAGING BULL, but it's hard to believe that such a student of the movies as Scorsese didn't have this 1963 effort of Lindsay Anderson in mind--the two films have exactly the same intense gritty tone and texture. Anderson's rugby scenes are much briefer than Scorsese's much admired boxing scenes, but just as brutal in their way. Rightly regarded as a classic.
